I trade them in the financial markets but interactive brokers also supposedly has micro oil and other markets. The problem is, I am unable to get a quote for them in tws. I like big and relatively slow moving markets https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=47137#micro-wti-crude-content

Then why am I up on 60% of my trades and profitable overall after about 1,000 trades? Imagine if I were as smart as you are.

And that is more or less what I was looking for. I can figure out which markets I want to trade....man.

This seems to sort of do it. Kinda annoying cuz you have to enter the trade manually as far as I can tell. https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/options-calculator.php

Hi everyone, I am a fairly good trader and am probably right in terms of direction on 60% or more of my trades. My problem is I really do not know what I am doing :) . I am just picking options to sell to open usually that are worth $1,000 or so. I am aware of the risks of selling naked but so...

Hey guys, I thought this would be easy but it is getting annoying. I want to create a public portfolio I can share to track paper trades I make over the next year or two. What is generally the best site to do that? I have tried WeBull but am not sure it does what I want. Just a simple way to...

Hi Traders, I am fairly good at predicting 3-6 month market direction. I have recently been selling options premium with the ultimate goal being to purchase the underlying in a few months if the trade moves in my direction. My question is, suppose I sell an option 2 months out for $10, and in a...

My question was, which Put should I sell if it goes up and I want to be long?

This is probably a very basic question but I cannot get my head around it. I am looking at a stock now currently priced at $19 that I think will go higher over the next year or so. I am new at this but see January $10 puts selling at 0.30 cents. I am confused as to what put I would want to sell...

Hey everyone, I was given a stock by a friend who works for the company. It does not trade options but does trade warrants. As far as I can tell, those are just like options, correct? So I bought some at $11.50 expiry 2023. If the stock does pop, is there any way to tell how much the warrants...

You seem upset. It will be ok.

Hey everyone, probably a very basic question here but will Crypto futures, bitcoin, ethereum, etc move the same magnitude as the actual coin. I am not a fan but my business partner is and wants to buy. So If he buys a bitcoin futures contract priced at $40k on interactive brokers, will he make...

The price in excess of intrinsic value. I do take risky trades at times but almost all have worked out. That is what the method I use is reasonably good at.

Thank you, but suppose I find a stock I want to trade. I am hoping to see which options in that universe have the most premium.

I am trying to sell option premium and my method is good at determining when a stock is consolidating before a major move up or down. I have found a few that have an amazing amount of premium that seemed almost irrational. I want to be able to screen for a given option on an underlying that I...

I have started selling options premium and am told you can chart options data. The problem I am seeing is that there is not enough data to chart many of the options I want to trade. For example, I have traded IVV calls recently. So I tried to pull up an options chart for the January 2022 474...

Hi, is there any way to get historical options data, or what is the best way to do that? I am trying to create charts of various options in Ensign Windows. I have it set up but the charts are not refreshing with options quotes. I use Interactive brokers for my data feed.

What if they do not, or go down?

Because if I sell the stocks in 9 days, I do not pay capital gains tax until April 2023 instead of in 4 months.

Time for another not so smart question. I have some stock I inherited but do not really want. I plan to sell it in the next few months but in the meantime, want to sell covered calls against it. An example I am looking at is IVV, currently trading at $462. January calls at $474 are currently...
